Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open an md file that has an image tag (local or external does not matter)
2. The image does not show

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Can you please share the markdown source for the image?

[buffos]

as simple as that.
the image exists (ctrl + click on the link opens the image correctly)

I can't reproduce this in a workspace:

How did you open the markdown file? Was it part of a workspace?

[buffos]

No. just double click an orphan file.
I also deleted all extensions (deleted extension folder) and installed all extensions again.

The context menu was not updated. I had to "disable all extensions" and then "enable all extensions" to view the options in the context menu.

Which extension are you using for previewing the md?

[buffos]

I have just checked. It works inside a workspace. Not as a standalone file

[mjbvz]

Just the built-in one

This makes sense now. I recently disallowed webviews (like the markdown preview) from loading local files outside of the current workspace for security reasons. In the case where you have no workspace open, we probably want to treat the markdown file's folder as the implicit workspace and allow loading images file from there

@mjbvz I am using the following VSCode version:

It seems if I open directly a .md file it won't show local images, that are for example near the .MD file. IMO we should just do that by default.

@timotei See #45155. Should be fixed in 1.22.0 insiders builds
